The state of Indiana slammed Porter County officials in the last election for their chaotic behavior. They demanded their immediate resignation. That is not enough, criminal charges with a hefty fine need to be considered to make sure this never happens again.

In general, politicians are not known for their honesty. If they were honest, most would never be elected. Still, it is the right of every American to make sure elected officials abide by our laws and ethics regulations.

I would like to know: why would Gary have job fair saying amazon’s hiring and with hundreds of people, but in end all they did was tell you to go Amazon’s web site. They didn’t event look at people’s resumes or anything; it was a waste of a whole day.

Trump has been hiding things from the public for years. Starting with that yuge bald spot on top of his head. Look at all the trouble he goes to just to make that ridiculous hairstyle.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the Republican Secretary of State is calling for the resignation of two local election officials who happen to be Democrats. Surely, she wouldn't abuse her authority for partisan reasons.

Tucker Carlson is complaining about the “mob” attacking him for his vicious comments. “These critics believe that politics is war and will do whatever it takes to gain power. If that includes getting you fired or silencing you, they know what their goal is. If you are in the way, they will crush you.” Did Carlson forget that he works at Fox News, where that is their entire goal — to crush their opponents? Can anyone be this tone deaf?

To hear the Chair of the Republican National Committee defend Donald Trump as the "moral leader" of our country should make any sane person absolutely cringe. But not 80 percent of Republicans. They nod their heads in agreement. These are the same people, of course, who will gladly discuss our nation's "moral decay" at the drop of a hat.

Why do parents try so hard to force their children to follow the religion they choose to believe? I have seen this destroy families and think it goes against the teachings in the bible.

Thank you for printing the doctoral thesis on Quickly on Wednesday and while just about everything was true what is also true is that left-leaning, more than likely anti-Trump, anti-conservative editors still pick and choose what appears in Quickly on a daily basis. Based on that, you would be led to believe that 98 percent of the Quicklies that are sent in are anti-Trump and anti-conservative and I challenge you to prove that that is the case.

Nancy Pelosi said that she was not in favor of impeaching President Trump. She said that he was not worth it. That is not a compliment.

The Democrats wouldn’t have to be looking at information from 81 people if Republicans had been doing jobs for past two years. Donald Trump has a vast connection to people he’s done business with, who have done wrong. The business of government still can go on event though you’re investigating Mr. Trump. That is the job of Congress — to run checks and balances on the President. Read your constitution.

Ivanka Trump is now embroiled in another alleged money laundering scheme with her jewelry business. Her business was used as a front for fraud. Moshe Lax owes the IRS over $60 million for financial wrongdoing. Why is it that so many money-laundering operations attach themselves to the Trump family?
